Elevation data

Elevation data gives new life to traditional maps and images.

Using elevation data, anybody with the appropriate mapping software can obtain a lifelike three-dimensional model of the landscape.

The elevation model is useful within many different areas. The long-distance lorry driver finds the most fuel-efficient route, the social planner sees what routes water will take in the event of flooding, and the architect can create an image of how the new residential area will look like when finished.
